For sure, any system level changes should be tested extensively to determine pros and cons. Performance testing should ideally be a part of the QA process. We found THP to be nothing but trouble on our systems across a myriad of applications. Most of our systems have 512GB+ ram so the problems induced by it are exacerbated quite a bit. The real issue in our case is the associated defrag. It exhibits nearly identical intermittent system lag spikes to Java FGC's.
